Based on the outcome of the SCOTUS ruling, states have the option to expand Medicaid coverage up to 133% FPL. Want to learn how Illinois determined to expand Medicaid (beyond the politics!) and how health plans are gearing up to participate? Learn more in just a few weeks at the 21st Annual Medicaid Managed Care Congress.

From a health plan perspective, there’s a lot of work that goes into preparing for expansions – everything from network development, to sales and marketing, to adding more executives to handle the administrative side of things. In this session, you’ll here Michael Koetting, Deputy-Director for Planning & Reform Implementation in Illinois as he shares why they decided to expand Medicaid, and what health plans in the state are doing to prepare for increased membership.
